Chapter 42 Assassination
Early in the morning, before dawn, Su Nancheng was called up.

There is a big gathering once a year, and all relatives of the family come, so they have to go to the ancestral hall to kowtow.

This is no small matter.Wait for Su Nancheng to change his clothes and come out.I saw that those who are qualified to go to the ancestral hall in each courtyard are all dressed up and waiting to go.

First the men kowtow.Cheng Kanghou and his brother, the first wave of cousins.

It is the generation of Su Nancheng's father Su Yingqu who came down, and there are quite a few of them in this generation.

After that, it's Su Nancheng's generation.

There are too many people, so it needs to be divided into several rounds.

Su Nancheng is in the second round, and after they are all done, it will be the female relatives.

Anyway, when everything is finally finished, the whole morning has passed.

Everyone came back to change clothes, and the meal had already started in the garden.

This meal will last until evening.

Su Nancheng is basically following everyone, just follow the five young masters in front.

Anyway, there is no need to show off, he will do whatever Fifth Brother does.

It was a relief to finally make it to the table.

The next thing is... to toast each other and greet each other.

Who told him to have an official position? He wants to toast, and others also toast.

After coming and going, I really drank a lot.

There was babbling and babbling singing on the stage, and the garden was very lively.

After dark, we have to worship the moon again.

Cheng Kanghou and the old lady led the crowd to worship the moon in the garden.

Then put on melon and fruit refreshments, and everyone started a new round of excitement.

Steam the best crabs, and then replace them with wine and vegetables.And it's going to be fun for a while.

Taking advantage of the time to change clothes, Su Nancheng left to breathe.

The garden in the mansion is not small. He stood in a pavilion and took a few deep breaths.

Cheng Ming followed, fearing that something might happen to him if he drank.

The lake is full of lights, and it is not dark here.

Su Nancheng rubbed his forehead and was about to sit down for a rest.Cheng Ming said: "My lord, get up, a girl is coming."

Su Nancheng hummed for a moment, then looked over subconsciously, and saw several grandchildren from his family and that girl with a different surname Xu coming.

Fortunately, there is still a little distance.

Su Nancheng hurriedly got up: "Let's go."

It's nothing more than a girl from my family, and it's nothing to say a few words of greetings when we meet.

There is also a foreign surname, and if you can see it at night, you will see it.

He ran too fast, and when the girls approached, they had already disappeared.

They didn't see it too clearly, they just said: "I don't know who it is, why did they leave."

Su Nancheng went to another place to sober up, and bumped into the tenth son of the third room.

"Why is Seventh Brother in a hurry?" Ten Young Master also blushed from drinking.

"It's nothing, just now I saw a few girls coming over, I avoided it." Su Nancheng sat beside him.

The ten young masters also sat down: "Me too, hey, fortunately they won't stay for a few days."

The two brothers obviously have similar thoughts, and they have something to say when they sit together.

After about a quarter of an hour, Cheng Ming reminded: "My lord, it's time to sit down."

The boy of the ten sons also reminded: "Yes, the son has been out for a while. If you don't go back, someone will come to look for you inside."

The two brothers simply got up and went back together.

Su Nancheng sat back on the table, and saw that the Xu family girl was always looking this way.

Sure enough, he was looking at the ten sons.

This is so obvious.

The tenth son also found out, and felt annoyed, but didn't say anything.

However, he found out, and the wives naturally saw it too.

From this point of view, it was clear that no one in the entire Chengkanghou Mansion could look up to a girl from the Xu family.

This matter, [-]% is useless.

It wasn't until late at night that the crowd dispersed.

It is very late.

There are still people in this family going to court tomorrow.

It's true that Su Nancheng doesn't go to court, but he still wants to do it.This won't last long.

When I woke up the next morning, I was in a hurry.It was easy to rush to the palace, and I was not late.

It turned out that he was not late, and half of the people came this way.

There is still half, it is too late.

All of them were listless, either because they drank too much yesterday, or they didn't sleep enough yesterday.

Looking at each other, they all smiled helplessly.

Let alone them, the prince didn't show up after he left the court.

In the afternoon, everyone looked for opportunities to slip away early.

After Su Nancheng returned to the mansion, he learned that all the elders of his family had left, but...

The grandchildren left several behind.

The maids waited for him to change clothes and said: "The grandchildren from the second bedroom of my parents left three, and that girl Xu. There are also two young masters."

Su Nancheng nodded, indicating that he knew.

It has nothing to do with him either.

He just wants to sleep.

In the next few days, he didn't care about those cousins.

Leaving early and returning late, the East Palace has to stay for a day even if there is nothing to do.

On August [-]th, something happened.

Early in the morning, as soon as Su Nancheng went to the street, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. There were many people from the yamen on the street.

Entering the palace felt a little weird.

It was Chen An who explained to him: "You don't know yet, something has happened. Mr. Qinhuai was assassinated, and we don't know if he is alive or dead."

"Ah?" Su Nancheng was startled: "Assassinated? Where was the assassinated?"

"Early in the morning, my lord was leaving the mansion to enter the palace. I guess he wanted to resign in person. I heard that Zhezi was in his sleeve. As a result, he was assassinated on the street. It was said that he was stabbed in the chest. I don't think it will happen in most cases. Although there is no news of death yet... But the 73rd person, do you think you can survive it?"

Su Nancheng frowned: "Assassinated on the way into the palace? This is the capital."

Veteran of the two dynasties, the second rank of the current dynasties.Just in the capital, he was assassinated on the way into the palace.It's outrageous.

Chen An whispered: "The depth of the water here is beyond your understanding."

Su Nancheng could only nod his head.

"However, some people are afraid that this matter will cause trouble." Chen An's words seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be said on purpose.

Su Nancheng didn't answer, just hummed and went to do his own thing.

He was sorting out those paperwork and thinking, what's behind this matter.

Who is so bold?
Lord Qinhuai has been a little unhappy with His Majesty recently, and it is impossible for His Majesty to send someone to assassinate him.

Once Lord Qinhuai dies, who will be the most unclear?

Who has he impeached recently?

Su Nancheng sighed, the royal battle is really scary.

It was almost noon when the news came that Mr. Qin Huai was gone.

"It's said that when I carried it back, there was only the breath left but not the breath... It's really not easy to survive these two hours."

Everyone listened, not knowing what to say for a while.

The prince went to see His Majesty.

His Majesty was furious, and asked Jingzhao Mansion and other places to investigate this matter strictly in the morning.

At this time, the people in front of the palace and all parts of the capital are strictly investigating.

Check in and out.

Master Qinhuai went out by car in the morning, his coachman was fine, but the servant died on the spot.

No one saw the appearance of the assassin.

The coachman only said that he was a man of short stature, and he couldn't see his face clearly.Covered with a gray cloth.

The prince did not return to the East Palace all day.

When everyone returned home in the evening, they saw guard posts all over the capital.There are officers and soldiers everywhere.
